5.12 Design of Basic Class E Amplifier

The component values of the resonant circuit of the basic Class E amplifier shown in Fig. 5.1(a) are obtained from (5.8), (5.101), (5.103), and (5.105) for optimum operation at c05-math-0371

5.129 equation
5.130 equation
5.131 equation
5.132 equation

Suboptimum operation (i.e., for only ZVS operation) occurs for load resistance c05-math-0376 lower than that given in (5.129), that is,

5.133 equation

The Class E ZVS amplifier with the basic resonant circuit shown in Fig. 5.1(a) operates safely under short-circuit conditions.

The basic resonant circuit of Fig. 5.1(a) does not have matching capability. In order to transfer a specified amount of power c05-math-0378 at a specified dc voltage , the load resistance must be of the value determined ...
